To honor the strength and resilience we’ve seen and felt around the world from New Yorkers, Airbnb and Nasdaq are offering locals the chance to call Times Square home for just one night under the New Year’s Eve Ball – a spectacular night all to themselves!

High (and safely isolated) above Times Square on Nasdaq’s outdoor terrace, guests will have their very own geodesic dome to ring in the highly-anticipated new year while taking in panoramic views of the sparkling crystal ball. With Times Square celebrations going virtual this year, guests will have a truly unique experience during the traditional confetti celebrations, right below the ball.

To kick off the guests’ spectacular stay, the holiday season’s icon Mariah Carey is back in Times Square and better than ever. This time, she is becoming an Airbnb host, bringing her signature sparkle to the evening. The night will be full of magic and good vibes as guests are dazzled and glamourized with:

Also included, A virtual personal greeting from the one and only Mariah Carey, A $5,000 shopping credit to use along NYC’s famous 5th Avenue or local Times Square shops and before their stay, along with sparkly New Year’s Eve hats, 2021 glasses and horns for the countdown to midnight

You will also receive a sparkly piece of crystal featuring this year’s Waterford Crystal Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball design as a memento to take home, and panoramic views to see all broadcasted events and concerts organized by Times Square Alliance.
